The Dumbest Halloween Costume of the Year Is... This Dude as Bill Cosby in Blackface

Here we have quite possibly the unwokest Halloween costume in the known cosmos, and boy, is it a sight to behold: a blackface Bill Cosby, worn by one Brock Denton, student at the University of Central Arkansas and a member of Sigma Tau Gamma. (Let's take a second to note that thankfully, noise like this is increasingly becoming the outlier. But damn white people not named Hillary Duff! You were so close this year!)

Never in a million years did I think someone could shade the triple Venn diagram of Peak Problematic with "accused rapist" and "blackface" and "being named Brock Denton," but now I feel like a fool. Avert your eyes if you can. Or don't:

I'd argue that this right here is the mathematical opposite of wokeness—an equal and perfect oppositional polar force—which is, in fact, death itself. Congratulations to Brock Denton on being a Google search result forever.

(If you need some last-minute Halloween costume ideas that aren't terrible, here is a good place to start!)
